Need some advice - Currently a Manager in Big4 Valuations and want to move to Corp Dev. No prior IB experience. I have an offer for Corporate Strategy Manager position at a large Multinational and a few CD interviews lined up. Have to get back to the Strategy offer. Is it possible to move from CS to CD later?

Probably possible yes but not nearly as simple as it would be to move from Big 4 valuations to corp dev directly. The corp strat function is really quite different than corp dev, and the valuation / m&a process management skills you use & learn in corp dev are not really a thing in corp strat.

if you want to do corp dev, best to get an offer in corp dev directly.
